Hatchling no 2

         Happy 15th birthday, hatchling no 2.

You are growing into the most amazing young woman. 

We adore you.

 

Leftovers

Leftovers might just be the greatest treasure in any fridge. 

You can throw almost any leftovers in to a toastie, an omelette or in top of a pizza or baked potato and call it a meal.

One of our favourite ways to use roast dinner leftovers is to puts left over roast,covered in gravy, covered in chopped roast potatoes, sprinkle with cheese and oven bake.

A fancy poutine of sorts and a very yummy meal.

This is what's important

It's a quiet time, these last few days before the holidays officially end and the world picks up pace again. 

It's not actually quiet in our house. With the hooting of hatchlings and the TV on in the background.

We didn't always have the TV on. For the larger part of our first hatchlings life, we didn't have a TV at all. It's one of those concession that have come with having children with additional 

needs. Sometimes, being the perfect parent that I hoped to be, isn't the parent that my children need me to be.

Anyways, there is little in the way of a peaceful Saturday. There is a cold clean frost outside on the fields. And the wind is low enough that the sea is gently rolling without too much enthusiasm.

 I hope so much to focus more this year on our family - there is nothing else more important.

It is late, New Year in fact.

But better late than never.
